Same Sex Ceremony

Q: I am involved in a same sex relationship. I would like to have some sort of ceremony, but I am unsure about my options. Do you have any suggestions?

A: I encourage you to pursue your goal! If a ceremony is what you desire, nothing should stop you from obtaining it! Being in a same sex relationship shouldn't limit you with respect to holding a special party to celebrate your love. In fact, this makes it easier for you! Since this is a non-traditional ceremony, you're under less pressure to "do everything right". You're free to plan this ceremony as you choose... it leaves many opportunities open to you! I would encourage you to have a "commitment ceremony". Such ceremonies are becoming increasingly popular. Although they may not be legally binding, this is a way for you to publicly declare your love and your commitment in front of your friends and family. So go crazy! Invite your loved ones, order some food, hire a disc jockey... plan it any way you'd like!
